C G
We wrote our names in the tunnel back when
F Dm
Coos Bay was as far away as we’d ever been
F Dm
Pine trees climbing up winding hills
F G
Fishing boats and paper mills
C G
Multnomah County’s where I come from
F Dm
Hometown to Bigfoot and the Burnside bums
F Dm
Rain clouds hangin’ down low and grey
F G
God knows I wish it would have rained today
Chorus:
C C/B Am Am/G F G
Tonight I’ve got those old Rose City blues
C C/B Am Am/G F G
Tonight I’ve got those old Rose City blues
Tonight I’m drivin’ through some other town
Radio on with the windows down
Old song comes on from a long time ago
How on earth did that DJ know
Chorus
Bridge:
C C/B Am
Rain rain rain
C C/B Am C
Pouring rain doesn’t bother me
Lead solo
We wrote our names in the tunnel back then
And last night we went down and did it again
One sip too many from that old loving cup
Rose City people never do grow up
Chorus
